✅ The 48-Hour Hail Damage Roof Houston Checklist

Stay safe & scan from the ground
Look for shingles on the lawn, shiny or “bald” spots on shingles, dented gutters, cracked vents, or water stains on ceilings. Don’t climb the roof.
Photograph everything
Take wide and close photos of roof planes (from the ground), gutters, downspouts, vents, chimney caps, fences, and window screens. Timestamp if possible.
Check the attic & ceilings
Look for damp insulation, dark spots, and drips around fixtures. Catch water with containers and protect furniture or flooring.
Mitigate leaks immediately
If you have active dripping, call for emergency tarping. We’ll dry-in the area to stop further damage while your claim progresses.
Save receipts
Keep invoices for tarps, fans, or emergency dry-out—these costs are often reimbursable by carriers after hail events.
Schedule a certified inspection
Book a hail roof inspection Houston homeowners trust. We provide a photo-verified report and note the verified storm date to speed up approvals.
File your claim (if damage is confirmed)
Submit photos, the inspection report, and the loss date. Request an on-site adjuster meeting to review every slope and accessory.
Meet the adjuster with your roofer
Having your contractor present ensures all roof planes, flashing, vents, and gutters are documented correctly for scope and pricing.

How to Spot Hail Damage (Without Climbing)

Granule loss

Dark “bald” spots where granules are missing can expose the shingle mat and shorten roof life.

Impact marks

Circular bruises or soft spots indicate shingle damage—even if you don’t see a puncture.

Metal dings

Check downspouts, gutters, ridge vents, and chimney caps for visible dents; metal reveals hail patterns quickly.

Collateral

Dented AC fins, torn window screens, splintered fence tops, and shredded plants often accompany roof impacts.

Tip: Wind-driven hail in Houston can hit one side harder than others. Don’t assume the whole roof looks the same—directional storms are common.

Insurance Steps Texans Often Miss

Use the verified storm date (we include this in your report).
Request code upgrades (ventilation, drip edge, underlayment) if your policy covers them.
Include supplemental items when damaged: gutters, downspouts, paint touch- ups, fence caps, and window screens.
Mind your deductible: Hail/Wind deductibles are often a percentage—know the amount up front.
